Publication number: 20240092042Abstract: A method of forming a sporting implement includes placing a plurality of fibers in a cavity formed in a first portion of a mold, the mold having an inlet and an outlet. A second portion of the mold is positioned in contact with the first portion such that the cavity cooperates with the second portion of the mold to define a chamber. A first material is mixed with a second material to form a thermoplastic resin. The thermoplastic resin is injected into the chamber through the inlet. The inlet and outlet are closed, and the thermoplastic resin completely polymerizes so as to form a fiber reinforced sporting element in the chamber, and the sporting element is removed from the chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Bauer Hockey, LLCInventors: Mathieu Ducharme, Jean-Frédérik Caron Kardos, Martin Chambert

Publication number: 20230326379Abstract: A method of manufacturing a piece of sporting equipment is provided. A namebar is affixed to a surface of the sporting equipment, the namebar being blank and adapted to receive thereon a printed design. A solvent-based clear coat is applied to the surface of the sporting equipment including the namebar, subsequent to the affixing of the namebar. A removable covering is applied over the namebar, subsequent to the applying of the solvent-based clear coat. Then, a gripping material is applied to at least a portion of the surface of the sporting equipment including the removable covering over the namebar, subsequently to the applying of the removable covering.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2021Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Pascal GOSSELIN, Martin CHAMBERT, Nicolas MASSIE-HAMEL

Patent number: 11559733Abstract: A blade holder for an ice skate (e.g., for playing hockey). The ice skate comprises a skate boot for receiving a foot of a skater. The blade holder comprises a blade-retaining base to retain a blade. The blade-retaining base comprises a first material (e.g., a non-composite polymeric material). The blade holder comprises a support extending upwardly from the blade-retaining base to interconnect the blade holder and the skate boot. The support comprises a second material (e.g., a composite material) different from (e.g., stiffer than) the first material.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2019Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: BAUER HOCKEY, LLCInventors: Edouard Rouzier, Adam Gans, Martin Chambert, Pascal Martel

Publication number: 20200269105Abstract: A sporting implement, such as a blade for a hockey stick, may include an outer layer, a core, and a recovery gel positioned between the core and the outer layer. The recovery gel can form a film, be compressible, shape recoverable, and pressurized to a predetermined pressure. The recovery gel can be configured to provide an integrated agent for filling cracks that appear during use of the blade and configured to absorb energy impacts between the outer layer and the core. When a crack appears, the predetermined pressure can be relieved inside the crack and fills a cavity formed by the crack to provide cohesion between the outer layer and the core to recreate a new material in the place of the crack. The recovery gel can be configured to help prevent cracks from propagating and actively heals potential damages by reducing stiffness loss caused by cracks.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2020Publication date: August 27, 2020Inventors: Martin Chambert, Jean-Frédérik Caron Kardos

Publication number: 20200222772Abstract: A hockey stick apparatus may include a molded blade structure coupled to the proximal end of a hollow shaft structure. The molded blade structure can include: a top edge spaced apart from a bottom edge by a blade height, a heel spaced apart from a toe by a blade length, a front face spaced apart from a back face, and an optional slot defining an aperture extending through front face and the back face. A stiffness of the blade may vary along the blade height by changing the shape of the blade and changing a quadratic momentum of the cross-section along the blade height.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2020Publication date: July 16, 2020Applicant: Bauer Hockey, LLCInventors: Edouard Rouzier, Martin Chambert
